The liner work behind a sound flue in Ojus
A liner for an open fireplace follows other sizing rules
When the flue serves a masonry fireplace rather than a sealed appliance, the code sizes it against the fireplace opening. A liner that is too small for the opening can leave the fireplace short of draft. That makes relining an open fireplace a different calculation from relining for a stove.
Tell us whether you plan to keep burning in the open fireplace or connect an appliance later. The answer changes which rule governs the liner size. We explain the basis for our sizing in the estimate, so you can see which part of the code the proposal relies on.
How a relining job is scheduled
A straightforward relining can be finished in one visit, while heavy preparation may need more. We explain the expected sequence when you approve the estimate. The fireplace or appliance is out of use while the flue is open.
Ask what each visit covers and what state the chimney is left in between. The top is covered at the end of each work day. If weather or a discovery changes the plan, we tell you and agree the next step before continuing. Access to the room and the roof is agreed ahead of each visit.
What a relining estimate leaves out
An honest relining estimate says what it does not cover. Crown repair, masonry work, damper repair and the appliance itself are common exclusions. Knowing them avoids a surprise when the liner is done and another problem remains.
We list exclusions in plain words. If one of them affects whether the liner can be installed, we say that too. You decide which items to handle and in what order, and each carries its own price if you choose it. Exclusions do not weaken an estimate. They show where its edges are.
Relining estimates written for homes in Ojus
A relining estimate for a home in Ojus is written after the free inspection, not before it. It names the liner, the size, the insulation, the top parts and the connection. Preparation and exclusions have their own lines.
Take the estimate away and read it without pressure. If a line is unclear, ask us to explain it. The price you approve covers the scope as written, and anything new is discussed and priced before it is added. Nothing is ordered until you say yes. Questions asked before approval cost nothing.

What to know before relining in Ojus
Can a liner go inside the clay tile that is already there?
That depends on space and condition. If the old tile leaves room for the liner and whatever insulation its listing needs, it can usually stay. Broken sections that block the route, or a passage that is too tight, may require removal before installation.
Do you remove the old liner before installing a new one?
When an old liner has failed, it normally comes out first, along with its top plate and cap. We explain how it will be removed and haul the debris away. Damage found behind it is discussed before the scope changes.
What if the liner will not fit down my flue?
Then the options are preparation, such as removing broken tile, or a different liner form that suits the route. If neither works, we explain what that means for the appliance. You hear this at the assessment, not on installation day.
